Facing immense pressure, Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, desperately sought a strong performance from his team, especially following two lackluster defeats in the past week. Their salvation came in the form of a late goal by Bruno Fernandes, securing all three points against Fulham.
The Red Devils believed they had taken the lead just ten minutes into the match, only for Scott McTominay’s attempt to be disallowed after a protracted VAR review. This proved to be the lone noteworthy incident in an uninspiring first half, as both teams headed to the locker rooms with the score level.
Fulham matched United’s intensity and had opportunities to potentially snatch victory in the second half. However, it was the United captain, Fernandes, who proved decisive by capitalizing on a momentary lapse in the host’s defense.
Erik ten Hag introduced several lineup changes in an effort to bounce back from their defeat to Manchester City in the previous Premier League fixture. An injury sidelined Marcus Rashford, with Alejandro Garnacho taking his place, while Antony replaced Sofyan Amrabat in an attacking alteration.
Despite Ten Hag’s numerous tactical adjustments, it was Fernandes who ultimately broke the deadlock, providing a much-needed breakthrough for the team.
